Questions
Before you choose.
What are the pieces made from?
100% pure copper, sealed with a clear coating to prevent tarnish. Each piece is the fossilization of a real wing specimen through Haft’s lost organic casting process, then hand-finished in New York, so every vein and texture of the original is preserved.
How do I choose my finish or style?
Open a piece to explore its photographs and available options. Select your preferred finish or configuration before adding it to your cart.
Is every piece one of a kind?
Yes. Every piece begins with a unique natural specimen, so its form and fine details cannot be reproduced exactly.
How long does shipping take?
Pre-orders are cast to order in our New York studio; allow about 4–5 weeks. Every parcel is insured and tracked from the moment it ships, and US orders over $250 ship free.
Can I return my piece?
Because every piece is handmade, it becomes final sale once production begins. Damaged, defective or incorrect orders are always protected: contact the studio within seven days of delivery with your order number and photos and we will make it right.
Can I get a different setting or a custom piece?
Yes. On the Morpho Butterfly Fossil, choose a single wing or a double wing pair, then Brooch, Earring or Pendant, before adding to cart. For anything else, request a custom order.
How do I care for the copper?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use jewelry dips or abrasive polishes, which strip the seal. Take it off before swimming, showering or exercising, put on perfume and lotion first, and store it on its own in a dry pouch.
Resealing: if the coating wears through, wash in mild soap and water and dry, polish off any tarnish with a copper polishing cloth, then wipe it with isopropyl alcohol. Brush on a thin coat of clear jewelry lacquer (such as ProtectaClear or Everbrite) or buff in Renaissance Wax, and let it cure for 24 hours. The full steps are in the description.
